Technology on remote drilling




Emerging technologies impact the oil industry in new remote drilling, increase efficiency and minimize operational risks in wells drilling and hydrocarbon extraction processes.

Countless disciplines are combined in the drilling of wells for the extraction of hydrocarbons from the subsoil, for the following refining and enjoyment of the benefits that oil provides to humanity. 

Where it is assumed, after a geological investigation, about the existence of an oil field, the drilling of wells is the way to check this previous study, after which we proceed to the subsequent steps concerning the extraction of black gold.

After conditioning the land to be exploratory drilled, in its first stage, it is usually performed rotary drilling or trepanation with mud circulation, to the depth where the location of the deposit has been tentatively indicated. The equipment consists of a mechanical or electromechanical system that supports a differential rig, consisting of a tower height between 20 and 30 meters to support the movement of pipes and tools that operate by power transmission of electric motors or explosion.

 Remote drilling is an advance for oil exploration in areas of difficult access
In cases where the drilling is carried out on the sea floor, distant platforms must be installed on the coasts and very deep waters, on a depth of up to 200 meters. The platforms can be floating or anchored to the ocean floor, resistant to waves and extreme atmospheric conditions.
 
Remote drilling will be a very valuable advance in drilling techniques, minimizing the risks of personnel and equipment, minimizing operating costs and increasing the efficiency of the process. The drilling and extraction of both gas and oil from distance will allow operators to monitor and control the drilling process with greater efficiency and in safer environments.

 Technology has a positive impact on the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons
A reservoir in Alaska, for example, with very hostile weather conditions, can be operated and controlled more efficiently from distant locations. This is how advances in computer and telecommunications technologies also positively impact the oil industry, making possible the massive transmission of data by increasing bandwidth and communications via satellites from operating centers to extraction locations in remote parts of the planet

Hocal Pipe Industries: Types Of Oil Wells

CATEGORIZING OILD FIELDS DEPEND ON THE INITIAL STUDIES; A KEY ELEMENT FOR EXTRACTION. The engineer and machinery involved in the processes of oil extraction are directly related to the type of oilfield to be drilled . The subsoil is intervened with bars of different diameters and coated pipes that, once introduced at different depth, allow prospection and extraction. To do so, categorizing the type of oilfield  constitutes the first step. Firstly, drilling the exploratory wells  is the common step to any extraction plan. The purpose is to determine the presence of hydrocarbon, as well as obtaining as much information as possible with a low cost. With this procedure, the data about the cuts, cores, and registers of the field will lead to the use of procedures to extract the hydrocarbon. The first thing to do is categorize the type of field Following the exploration, as it is highlighted by  Hocal Pipe Industries , making the estimations of field are d...

Oil pipelines in the oil industry

Image
Oil has been transported through pipelines since the XIX century, and it has been carried through a vast extent of the pipe system. This way of bringing the oil from one point to another is considered the most efficient one when it comes to hydrocarbons. Oil pipelines  are the most efficient way to  transport oil and its derivates . It may be carried in big loads and through different ground environments, as well as see environments. This wide transportation network is composed of plastic or metal  pipes  with a diameter from 30 to 120 centimeters. Sometimes these pipes are just one meter underground. When it comes to their purpose, the  pipes  may be used to  transport, gather or distribute . These pipes cover kilometric distances. This kind of system has been used for more than one hundred years. By the moment people started using it, it was an alternate way to the traditional transport in railroad wagons. This alternative made a huge dif...

Desalination and Dehydration of Oil

Image
THE DESALINATION AND DEHYDRATION OF HYDROCARBON, PERFORMED UNDER DIFFERENT PROCESSES, ALLOWS THE EXTRACTION OF SALTS, WASTE AND WATERPROOF CONTENTS. When the oil is extracted from its depths, it usually goes through processes that make it suitable for its subsequent use. It often contains gases, unwanted contaminants, soluble solid particles such as sand and salts dissolved in water called brines. This salt leads to certain problems such as corrosion and tartar so it must be extracted from the crude. As the salt is diluted in water, desalination removes not only salt but also residual free water. To remove the salt from the oil, you can remove the water it contains, or dilute it. Desalters are used for this purpose that can perform both tasks and using electrostatic charge remove most of the water or inject clean water to dilute the salt concentration.   Oil goes through several processes for desalination and dehydration. The measurements of the typ...
